TORONTO - Ontario farmers will no longer have to pay premiums up front under the Market Revenue In- surance program, Ontario Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Af- fairs Elmer Buchanan announced. today. Under the new system, which will become effective for the 1995- 96 crop year for all market revenue commodities, producers will not be required to pay premiums by No- vember 1 each year. Instead, one- third of the payments made to pro- ducers under the program will be deducted to cover their share of the premiums. "Since the inception of market Revenue in 1991, almost 85 per cent of the eligible acres in the province have been enrolled in the program: Over the first three corn- pleted years, Market -Revenue paid $478 million to Ontario grain and oilseed producers to help them deal with depressed commodity prices," said Buchanan. • "The new system will build on the effectiveness of the program for Ontario farmers, and also makes Township accepts by-law amendment for sawmill East Wawanosh Township ac- cepted a zoning by-law amend- ment application for Part Lot 28, Concession 6 at its March meeting last Tuesday. The by-law amendment would change the propertry from AG -1, NE -1 and NE -3 to AG -3 for the purpose of constructing a sawmill. Peter Parent of Tri -County Lumber presented the re -zoning application to council last Tues- day. He also applied for a building permit. Even though the property is zoned. agricultural, the land is ac- tually scrubland. There is no building on the land. Parent said there is a spring on the property and he would be us- ing portable toilets for the employ- ees. He noted that the company couldn't start building 'until he finds out what hydro is available. Parent said there is no three-phase outlets on the property, and Onta- rio Hydro is not willing to com- promise. Because Parent is unsure of what hydro will be available, he brought two plans for council's ap- proval. One drawing is for an all electric power supply and the oth- er is for diesel and electric power. The building will be a one - height of 20 feet. The structure will be built on a foundation of eight -inch think, on a floating pad. • If required, he could down -size the operation. Parent said there is a home across the road, but other than that the closest neighbor is about 2 -km away, which is the park. He didn't think there would be much noise, because all the noise from work would be out the back -side of the mill. He noted that the odd truck turning into the mill may be heard. Parent noted that they will put up a sign warningother road users that trucks are turning. "We have worked with every- `er to date," said Parent "We are trying to do this right." Parent said he would like to start building the sawmill later this month, as soon as the weather gets better. Council informed him that it would take two months to corn- plete the zoning procedure. The plans for the building would have to -be approved by a licensed engi- neer. "Two months for us would be a lot of time and money," said Par- ent. At the present 'time, people are storey structure with an area of employed at the mill, with one ad - 4,000 square feet The pole -barn ditional person hired and two style building will be built with truck drivers to haul the trees to pre-engineered trusses with a the mill. Counc could not see any problesms in Tri County Lumber starting to build the sawmill later this month. He.made a motion for council to accept the application for re- zoning, subject to approval of the zoning by-law. However, Trl County Lumber will have to get approval from the Huron County Health Unit for the use of portta- ble toilets and the Department of Labor. Parent said they have already received approval from Huron County and the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority. Council also accepted an appli- cation from Roy Hardy for part Lot 28, Concession 8 to change the property from AG -1 to AG -4 to allow for a mobile home. Building superintendent Arnold Bruce said the owner would like to have the trailer in by April 1. The owner has applited for to get a septic system. Bruce noted with the zoning by- law amendment, a house could be built on the property at a later date. Also accepted by council was a temporary land -use application for Joe Groh. The temporary land -use permit would allow Groh Motors to sell one or two cars 'from the ,sense from an administrative point of view. Farmers have asked for this new approach and I'm pleased that we can now offer them this simplified process," he added. The Market Revenue Insurance Program provides enrolled farmers" with protection against low market pt'ices for their commodities. The/. premiums are funded 41.66 per cent by the federal government, 25 per cent by the provincial govern- ment. The' producers' share of the premiums wilt be the deduction of one-third of the program pay -outs. illor Fred Meier said he NOr71(211: Wall a Closed for Renovations March 14 thru March 24 Fireside Cafe Hwy $t4 South of Wingham 357®4484 Special Offer A Wedding Memento for your Guests Pens or Softee Key Fobs with your Wedding details Imprinted Quality Pen sets 25°o OFF all your for the Wedding Party Wedoing stET�r Laser engraved and Gift Boxed Momenttosaor Gifts cetore Aonl2Sth.
